Kinematic and Radiographic Evaluation of Acromioclavicular Reconstruction with a Synthetic Ligament

Figure 5

Biomechanical testing of peak acromioclavicular separation distance in anteroposterior, mediolateral, and inferosuperior directions during shoulder abduction, flexion, and scaption for native, severed, and reconstructed states. No significant differences were found in peak acromioclavicular distance among native, severed, and reconstructed conditions during the three movements and three directions.
